<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kevin McGonigal, post: 7629879, member: 72790&quot;]Good question, but I think that anyone seriously interested in reading Aristophanes circa mid to late 1800&#039;s was also well enough educated to read them in the original Attic Greek. I do recall once reading a 19th Century English version of one of the Roman historians, possibly Procopius and his Secret History. Periodically, with no warning, the text would continue in Latin, and then back to English. I got the impression that the Victorian&nbsp; authors figured that if any readers had mastered the Classical languages that it was safe to let them read it. For the hoi polloi, best to keep them unaware of these matters. I must admit, by the way, that I had wished I had paid a bit more attention to my Latin Instructors even if much of that vocabulary had not appeared in Cicero and Vergil.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
